I too have made the suggestion for a submit button, sometimes when I scroll up, it will pick an answer I touched, or the picture will jump about the time I touch the screen. A submit button would be great.

Katherine Walker, I would like that too. It would be nice if "Is that your final answer?" should pop up when you touch the screen. At least there is a small window of opportunity. As long as your answer is blinking, you can change it.

Dave Wayne, happens to me, too, and I use an iPhone, not a computer

All the presidents who have died in office both of natural causes and from assassination, were elected in a year divisible by 20. (Although FDR survived until he was re-elected in 1944).

Katherine Walker, I agree, it is frustrating!

Howard Groopman

Good question. Harrison and FDR were the only ones I could think of.

earlepg, It just hit me again. I didn't scroll my comment down. It just automatically scrolled on its own.

Katherine Walker, With the number of times that I have been bit by this bug, I certainly agree. Unfortunately iit looks like the powers that be either don't agree or are not listening.

Eight presidents have died in office, four by assassination and four from natural causes! That's a lot considering how few presidents we've had over or 250 some years as a nation!

Ben Totuous It's a challenge I issue to him that I'm fairly sure will never be acted upon.

Katherine Walker Yes, Katherine, I notice the jumping of my screen, too. I think it happens if you try to answer too quickly, before all the ads and comments have come through. Keep asking for the "Submit" button! : )

Adrian Capt'n Judge First, you are in the minority. I have seen many people complain that they knew the right answer, but hit the wrong button. Sometimes the error is caused by the sensitivity of one's phone screen and sometimes answers are selected without even touching the screen. Second, I didn't get this answer "WRONG". I was merely commenting on another post with what I think is a good suggestion. Maybe you can't recognize a good idea when you see one? Third, I never "whinge" when I get an answer wrong. I learn from my mistakes and move on. Your assumption proves how little you know about me. "Oops!" Fourth, I doubt you are perfect. People do make errors from time to time no matter how careful they try to be. Don't come whinging to me when the same thing happens to you, because, according to you, the site is "fine as it is."

It may be your computer mouse that is doing that, it's out of sync somehow. Reset by just turning the computer off and then on to re-boot. That may fix the issue. ,,,GBA...<><
